Genral History:

During this era, Italy was dominated by the Hapsburg Family!. In the 17th Century, Southern Italy and Milan were controlled by the Spanish Hapsburgs, and the rest of the country was composed of various independent kingdoms and city-states (Florence, Genoa, Venice, etc)

With the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, control over Italy was passed to Austrian Hapsburgs!. Under their control Northern Italy experienced an economic and cultural boom, making it drastically different both economically and culturally from the South, this difference continues to this day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
